A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDERS

Umba Daima is an online art marketplace & agency representing talented artists from the global African community. It was inspired by our travels to countries like Ghana, Haiti, and Zimbabwe where we saw amazing Black artists selling their art at local markets for very cheap prices. We thought about how great would it be if these artists could tap into the multi billion dollar art market in the United States. They could make much more money and get exposure to life changing opportunities. Umba Daima launched in June 2020 and have been growing ever since.

Our strategy is to carefully source talented Black artists from outside of the U.S. and Europe. These artists have high potential, solid foundational skills, and are passionate about expanding their reach. While some are early in their careers, some are older more experienced artists who have not yet gotten major international attention.

We invite you to join our growing community of supporters by joining our email list, engaging with our content, and buying artwork! Got a project you need an artist for? You can request custom artwork at info@umbadaima.com

Umba Daima regularly adds new artists and artwork to the platform. Subscribe to our newsletter for updates.

We are proud to be Black owned!
